Roald Dahl is known for his work in the children genre, but he also had works in adult fiction, screenplays, poetry collections, and even cookbooks. There is a complete list of these works at the related link below.
His best-known works, partially due to the successful movies based on them, are the Children's Books Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, and Matilda, though he also wrote fiction for adults and several autobiographical pieces.
Popular other examples include: BFG, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Witches, and Danny the Champion of the World.
Fun trivia: Roald Dahl at one point had to have his hip replaced, and was told by the surgeon that it was the largest hip bone he'd ever seen. After the surgery, Dahl kept his hipbone and displayed it in his office.
